The Wyze Cam OG is an affordable wired security camera offering 1080p video with impressive color night vision and a built-in spotlight.

Professional reviewers view the Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi camera as a solid entry-level indoor surveillance solution. Its 1080p video quality, pan/tilt control, and two-way audio are praised for delivering essential security features at a low price, but the outdated Wi-Fi standard and lack of PoE are seen as significant drawbacks for users with modern network setups.
Professional reviewers emphasize the noticeable performance boost over earlier models, particularly faster motion alerts and smoother livestreams, with the spotlight and color night vision being key differentiators.
Everyday users commend the night-vision quality and weather durability, though some complain about the wired requirement and occasional confusion about the field of view.
